This forum is definitely going to die if it's going to have strict moderation. The lack of moderation was one of the reasons why IMDB message boards were so revered (Excluding the thin-skinned types). Um...no. the lack of active, sensible moderation was the reason the imdb boards developed an internet wide reputation for being among the most hateful, and juvenile mainstream forums on the internet. Because by the end it really was populated largely by assholes and trolls with nothing better to do but harass, and argue with, other posters.
Sensible, hands on moderation is a good thing. IMDB allowed for a multi decade study of online social anarchy and in the end it proved anarchy results in complete disaster.
